| To Hy.{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} - from Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} c. to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X1775 Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}4/M23.1.23. As per my instructionsverbally that Mr.Johnson had given me authority to undertake the first item of expenditure in connection with secrecy of the Experimental Dept., Mr.Johnson points out that this is most urgent and an important matter, and I shall be pleased if you can get this work put in hand at once. A special move should be made to get the job completed at the earliest possible moment. I believe the figure referred to is something like £900; you will remember it was the first of the three schemes. [Illegible signature] | ||
